Abstract:   (1649 Views)
What the contemporary cityputs in front of its citizens’ eyes is an assembly of occasionallywell-balanced skyscrapers, hugecommercial and industrial complexes, and vast transport networks, running through earth like arteries. With their advanced electrical services, these gigantic steel and concrete structuresdo not allow darknesseven during nightsleaving the citizen of today negligent of nature and natural orders. Yet, can we ignore the vital nature? Will the thoughtof nature gradually disappear amidstagglomerations of concrete and metal buildings?
Drawing on the contemporary industrial world,François Bon is a writer whoportrays its different aspects; HLM buildings, the prison, the motorway, the railway, the factory, all represent contemporary lifewhich, distancing from nature, turn gray. However, these structures in herworkcontaina trace of the past: an invisible nature whichinfiltrates in various time periods of the city and cannot be eliminated: a nature that occasionally sits along roads and railways as fences protecting people from the urban chaos. Adopting an ecocritical approach, this article examines these notions in her Autoroute.
Keywords: François Bon, Autoroute, Ecocriticism, Contemporary city, Nature.
